Got one of the Toy's brake shoes attached with the hold down spring and the other clamped on to do it tomorrow. I hate installing those, you need 3 hands in order to turn the t post they are held down with. I don't have the hand strength I used to also. Had another bean pop it's head up today, good to see. Watching the wife's Cowboys tonight. BLT's because I forgot to take anything out of the freezer for dinner. Buds and suds time.

Gonna mow the yard today.
My grass is thick, deep, and wet so that means I'll be bagging.
The push mower has all wheel drive which is essential because my yard is sloped and bumpy.
Instead of dumping grass in the compost bin, I just spread it under the perimeter evergreens. It will be fully decomposed by spring and our plants love the nitrogen boost.
I'll probably spray some southern ag GFF to prevent fungal problems. Black mold is way easier to prevent than treat...

Took down and put away the Halloween decorations. Got the struts in for the truck hood, however they would be better off used as stakes. I guess the Chinese forgot about the whole up and down thing. I'll order some different ones tomorrow. Buds and suds time.

Still cant use mate.
Driver ordered and will be making frames out of 2020 stock. At least one will be vertical.

Decided the truck bed liner was bad idea (after 60 bucks and 2 days wasted)

Sticks to wood fine but peels right off the silicone caulk at the joints so I ordered up some garage floor epoxy and black pigment.

Has a write-in ever been elected? I hate local elections, who reads up on candidates for Soil and Water Conservation Director or Clerk of Court? The only court clerk I've ever heard of on the news was Kim Davis. Here they put school board trustees on the ballot and in my riding there were 15 people running for the position.

A box n pan brake has fingers so you can adjust the breaking surface to complete the box , you can make a box with a normal brake but you got to modify it n add a piece of wood .

My first design, I failed when it came to the welding , I was to impatient, went too fast , n the pan warped, after seeing the fab difficulties, that design was tossed.
(Tig alum would be the way to go, but to much $$$)
2nd was to complicated to run wires out of sight .

I’ll try #3 today , doesn’t look as Kool, but I think it’s a easy build n functional .


When I build rooms , usually there’s not much $$$ left for flooring , so tile n fancy options are out . I got to flooring stores n ask what they have for vinyl sheet scrap, n pick something reflective.
I just silicone the seams n edges , works good. Easy to keep clean .

Yes write in candidates have won in significant elections.

Both Strom Thurmond, the late South Carolina Senator in 1954 and
the late Ohio Congressman Charlie Wilson ran a successful write-in campaign in 2006.

More details here: http://www.youcanwritein.com/history-write-in-candidates.php

Although it is not impossible to win as a write in, more than just my 1 ballot would be needed to be successful. :???:
